HNT – 330

Thursday, December 29th, 2011 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos, Video | By: Midwestern City Boy

As you know, today is the last day for Half Nekkid Thursday. Today is our 330th and final post. California Girl and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating as posters and as followers. We want to give our heartfelt thanks to Osbasso for organizing and running it for almost seven years. That is a monumental achievement. [...]

WTF Friday #2

Sunday, October 16th, 2011 @ 6:15 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I lent something to a coworker on Thursday, and, for some reason, he thought it would be OK to keep it over the weekend even though he never said anything about that when he was making arrangements to borrow it. I expected that he would return it the next day. I was not happy on [...]

D&B Was Not On The List

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011 @ 8:40 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I recently became eligible for a service award at the company where I work. They used to give plaques for major milestones but just switched to a program where I could select an “award” from an online catalog. Award is in quotes because the quality of the selections is similar to what you might find [...]

Sunday Shorts #6

Sunday, March 27th, 2011 @ 6:10 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I moved to a new cubicle in the cube farm at work last week. I only received three boxes to move everything in my office. That wasn’t nearly enough for all of the stuff I have and regularly use. So I spent all day putting things in boxes in my old location, carrying the boxes [...]

Sunday Shorts #5

Sunday, February 27th, 2011 @ 11:45 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

The “check engine” light came on after I drove through a BIG puddle of water on Friday. It turned out that the electrical system just got wet; but I was worried that it was going to be a lot worse. The last time that happened to me water got into the engine and the motor [...]

Monday Madness

Monday, January 31st, 2011 @ 9:18 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I’m not sure how this week is going to turn out. I got stuck in the elevator before I even got to the office. (It stopped when it almost reached my floor; but the sensor thought it was between floors so the door wouldn’t open.) It’s a good thing that I am not claustrophobic. We’ve [...]

Two For Tuesday – 271

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 @ 9:00 pm | Photos, TFT, Video | By: Midwestern City Boy

It’s become something of a tradition (except when we forget) to post a Flash movie of all the pictures we used for the previous year’s Two For Tuesdays in our first Two For Tuesday post of the new year. We originally posted a Digital Photo Frame with all of the photographs from the year’s TFT [...]

2010 A Year In Review

Monday, January 3rd, 2011 @ 6:00 pm | Bitching, General, Him, Kids/Family, Love, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

January Had an occasion to do the Snoopy Dance because of something that happened at work. Took a cool photograph of California Girl with the flowers she received at The Girl’s last senior night. We reviewed the proofs of The Girl’s senior photographs and made our selections. It was a bit discomforting how rapidly her [...]

Its Not That Urgent

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010 @ 3:55 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

Its only Tuesday, the second day of my vacation, and I’ve already received several “urgent” emails and text messages from work. I am amazed at the impudence of some people. Except for a few days at Thanksgiving, our kids haven’t been home in four months. I wonder how they would be if their kids were [...]

I Hate Sneak Thieves

Saturday, November 6th, 2010 @ 11:00 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

For the third time in four years, my sports watch was stolen from the locker room at work. It’s “my fault” for not making sure it was locked up; but one wouldn’t think that that they would have to go to such lengths to protect such an inexpensive item from their co-workers. I can “understand” [...]
